Abstract: For most of us, until recently our involvement with computers has been that of either submitting written data to key punch operators or receiving the periodic computer-generated reports that organize the data in one way or another. Only in the past few years have business magazines blossomed with multi-colored advertisements for desk-top computers and the wonders of their software packages. In fact, since 1977, the microcomputer industry has grown from essentially nil to over 100 manufacturers generating 4.9 billion dollars in annual sales. They have to be doing something right! Computers have, of course, been around for a long time, but personal computers have several distinguishing characteristics. A personal computer (also referred to as a microcomputer) has all the basic features of larger minicomputers and mainframe computers, but its claim to fame is its relatively small size and affordable price. It allows the user, who need not be a student of computers, to buy or write programs and run them on his own.
